McKinsey Case Interview Example: Interviewer-Led Mock Case, Scored

A complete McKinsey case interview example, run the way McKinsey runs it: the interviewer leads and asks one question at a time.

Full McKinsey case interview guide: https://protocol-club.com/blog/mckins... You play the candidate. Three times, the case stops on a question and a countdown so you can answer first: the structure, the gross profit lost on home installation, and where to find $8M inside a year. A coach scores every answer out of 100, and when the candidate makes one of the classic McKinsey mistakes, we rewind and show the top answer. The three mistakes in this case: Naming a profitability framework instead of building a structure from the case Walking off into your own branch instead of answering the question you were asked A recommendation that never arrives What you will practice: reading a segment profitability exhibit, per-unit economics, sizing two levers against a gap, separating the safe plan from the upside, and an answer-first recommendation.
